Tri-opoly?
Not sure if hun?
Don't think this is like the Calderwood situation at all. McInnes has been backed financially far more than Calderwood was. Calderwood was always likely to take points/beat the tims or original huns. Albeit lose to St Mirren 0-3 the next week. McInnes has been "more successful" because he is more cautious, rigid formations, and better players. I'd go as far to say Calderwood would have had us gubbing teams with this squad, just picture it, Ash Taylor up front, Logan as a man marking CDM, McKenna at Peterhead...
You say 3 points off third I say 19 points off the worst tim side since the 80's.
He should have gone after the 2017 cup final, or at the very least the end of the following season after beating the new huns to second. I think he would have gone to the huns when they came in for him if they hadn't been such a dishonest financial basket case. That was the point when the relationship turned sour and also the point he seems to have become dis-interested. Poor transfer planning leading to poor signings, poorly planned game tactics, general lack of drive and enthusiasm for the job.
